The Clark County Sheriff's Department is now involved, fearing Ethan Hunter Bennett’s life could be in danger.

No one has heard from 19-year-old Bennett in six days and his parents’ car is missing.

"Ethan, I just want you to know we love you and we miss you and we want you to come home," said Bennett’s father, Tony Bennett.

Ethan Bennett was last seen leaving his house on Sept. 11. His parents described Ethan as a popular teen who enjoyed driving around the Knobs and Starlight areas with friends.

"The reason we're starting this search is because no one, not anyone, has heard a sound from him and that's unusual," said Clark County Sheriff’s Detective Randy Burton.

A young family member was the last to see Ethan as he left his house in Sellersburg and took his parents’ 2001 Jaguar. He told the family member he was going to a friend’s house.

His parents were out of town at the time.

While some might think Ethan may have decided to take a road trip, his parents and police think otherwise. According to his family, Ethan may have been struggling with depression.

"He quit school and was trying to find a job and he wasn't having much success and that was getting to him,” his father said.

Also concerning, Ethan left without his cellphone, money, or credit cards. Police said a witness spotted the vehicle last Friday on Veterans Parkway. The witness said the vehicle turned toward the southbound ramp.

Ethan's parents said his Facebook page has been lighting up with friends trying to reach him.

The Clark County Sheriff's Department is alerting surrounding officials and tow truck agencies to keep an eye out for the 2001 silver Jaguar with Indiana license plate RJU-784.

Anyone with information on the whereabouts of Bennett, please call the Clark County police tip line at 812-280-2276.
